Remembering Christ

Christmas is the time to think of Christ, learn of Christ, and try to be more Christlike. One way that we try to focus on Christ during Christmas is I hang a piece of paper with this on an empty wall:

Christ

Holy One

Redeemer

Immanuel

Son of God

Teacher

Messiah

Almighty

Savior

Then each night we read a story about Christ's life and hang a picture of that story on the wall. By Christmas, the wall is full of pictures of Christ to help us remember Him and to try to be more like Him.

Howard W. Hunter: "We must know Christ better than we know Him; we must remember Him more often than we remember Him; we must serve Him more valiantly than we serve Him...What manner of men and women aught we to be? Even as He is." (3 Nephi 27:27)

One of my favorite Primary songs is "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus"
I'm trying to be like Jesus; I'm following in His ways.
I'm trying to love as he did in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
"Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught."

I'm trying to love my neighbor;
I'm learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons he taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying,

"Love one another as Jusus loves you.

Try to show kindness in all that you do.

Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,

for these are the things Jesus taught."

I hope that we can all remember Christ this Christmas season!
